ORNAMENTED CLOTH.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 426,152, dated April 22, 1890.

Application filed April 11, 1889. Serial No- 306,805. (Specimens) To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, IIERRMAN UNGER, of the city of New Yorlnin the county and State of New York, have invented an Improved Ornamented Cloth, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part hereof, in Wliich- Figure 1 represents a face view of the ornamented cloth made according to my invention. Fig. 2 isasection on the line 0 c, Fig. 1.

This invention. relates to ornamented cloth of the class having a design of one character of surface finish upon a ground work of another character of surface finish; and it consists in a cloth having a curled nap arranged in relief above a ground of straight ened nap or fibers.

In the drawings, Fig. 1 represents at a the de sign in curled nap. Between this design at Z) lies the ground in straight fibers or nap. The curled nap is of the character of nap known in such fabrics as Ratine, Ondule, Frisef Elysian, lVhitneys, and the like. This fabric may be produced by many different methods; but one method which I find very advantageon s is to take a fabric having its en tire surface covered with curled nap-such as Ratine or Elysian-to cover some of this fabric, according to the design intended to be prod uced,\vith a pattern of still? paper, sheet metal, or the like, and to brush the fabric Which is exposed through the openings of such pattern, so as to lay the fibers that previously were curled into fiat or straight form. Nothing afterward-no handling, Wetting, or other treatment of the fabric-will restore the fiattened -out or straightened fibers into their previous curled condition, and I therefore have the advantage of producinga patterned design Which will retain throughout the pat tern imparted to it, while heretofore the patterned designs that Were known to me were liable, by wear, moisture, or the like, to become eifaced.

What I claim is A fabric having a part a of its surface covered with curled nap and adjoining part Z) of its surface covered with straightened fibers, substantially as herein shown and described.

HERRMAN 'UNGER.
